In the territory of the Apuan Alps , at around 1050 meters above sea level in the locality of La Foce , in the municipality of Careggine , Maestà della Formica was born in February 2013. Located on a large plateau dedicated to agriculture since very ancient times , and today unfortunately partly abandoned, the farm extends for approximately 1 hectare with south, south-west exposure on the slopes of Mount Sumbra . Strong day/night temperature variations in summer, abundant presence of snow in the winter months, springs with mild sunny days, together with the excellent nature of the soil, are the characteristics that make this area the most suitable for our crops.
